Hi everyone,
Just a bit of a moan really.
After having what seemed like weeks of pre-labour signs, it has all disappeared in the last couple of weeks, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of impending labour at all.
I have been using clary sage in bath, burner and as massage for about a week now, and it's not done anything (I swear this is what helped start off ds2). I had some very slight niggles in the night on saturday, but nothing at all to get me thinking.
By this time with ds2, he was born tomorrow, and I had been having really strong tightenings, period pain and back ache for a couple of weeks leading up to his birth. I was convinced this one would be earlier, and I am not getting any signs at all, and my due date is only 4 days away!!
I'm now thinking that perhaps I should resign myself to the fact that this baby is going to be 2 weeks late, then I won't get my hopes up each morning/night.
Back to the school runs this week, so perhaps the walking might get things started.
I got dh to have a feel of my cervix (I can't reach however hard I try), and last night he said it feels different to how it did on Saturday morning - hole is a bit bigger, and it feels a lot slacker. Don't know what this means at all, but it sounds good! Also had a bit of orangy stringy discharge yesterday, but don't know what that was either!!
Hope to see some more arrivals this week.
